NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 21, 1913.

Application filed December 31, 1912. Serial No. 739,518.

To all whom it may concern Be it known thatl, JOSEPH TnroLo, a citizenof the United States, residing at Brook lyn, in the county of Kings andState of New York, have invented a new and useful lmprovement inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a non-refillable bottle and the object of theinvention is to prevent re-filling of a bottle by any ordinary means andthereby prevent use of a labeled bottle as a container for other liquidthan that with which the bottle was originally filled.

The invention consists of the novel features of Constr-notionhereinafter described, pointed out in the claim and shown in theaccompanying drawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, parts being shown in the positionoccupied after the bottle has been first filled. Fig. 2 is an invertedview showing the position of the parts during discharge of the contents.Figs. 3 and 4l are similar sectional views illustrating' a slightmodification.

In the drawings, 1 represents a bott-le, the mouth of which is adaptedto be closed by a cork or other form of stopper 2. After the bottle hasbeen filled the following described devices are inserted in the bottleneck, being permanently secured in position in any desired manner. Thesedevices comprise a disk 3 provided with suitable perforations 4 and adepending centrally arranged sleeve 5 provided with a downwardly openand upwardly tapering socket 6. Arranged below the disk 3 is a seconddisk 7 preferably thicker than the disk 3 and provided with a valve seat8 and a central passage-way 9. A disk valve 1() of less diameter thanthe disks 3 and 7 which fit snugly in the bottle, carries a cone 11which engages the seat 8. The opposite side of the disk 10 carries atapering stem 12, which works in the socket 6 of the sleeve 5. The disk10 is adapted to move freely by gravity in the spa-ce between the sleeve5 and the disk 7, but the distance between the said sleeve and the disk7 is not sufficient to permit movement of the disk 10 to withdraw thecone 11 out of the plane of said disk 7 or to withdraw the stem 12 fromthe socket 6. When the bottle is in an upright position the cone 8 willact as a valve closing passage 9. The disk 3 acts as a guard for thedisk 10 while the sleeve 5 serves as a guide for the stein 12. When thebottle is inverted for the purpose of discharging its contents as shownin Fig. 2 the disk 10 will rest upon the other end of the sleeve 5, andthe liquid will pass through the passage 9 and around the cone 11 andout through the perforationstbut as soon as the bottle is moved back toan upright position the parts will be returned to normal position asshown in Fig. 1. In Figs. 3 and l., I have shown the same devices buthave added a third disk 13 substantially similar to the disk 7, providedwith a suitable valve seat 13 with which cooperates a valve cone 14.This cone carries a tapering stem 15 and in this form l provide althreaded socket in the inner end of the cone 11, and thread the extremeend portion of the stem 15 so that there will be a slight engagement ofthe stem 15 and the cone 11. It will of course be understood that saidstem 15 projects into the opening 9 of the disk 7. 1While T havedescribed this form as being a modification it will be obvious that itis in reality simply an addition, the parts 13, 111 and 15 beingpractically duplicates of the parts 7, 11 and 12, with a slightlymodified construction.

What I claim is A device of the kind described comprising a perforateddisk snugly fitting a bottle neck, an inwardly extending sleeve carriedby said disk, a stem freely working in said sleeve, a valve disk carriedby said stem having a cone portion, a second disk having a valve seatadapted to be engaged by said cone portion, a third disk also providedwith a valve seat, a cone valve engaging said seat, and a tapering stemcarried by the last mentioned valve and in permanent engagement with theinner end of the first mentioned valve.
